【战锤40k同人作品翻译】Ennui 第十️二章：呼吸 Breath(7)
She was praying for her sisters… and for me.
“Ave Imperator ad Domine Aeternum.”
I swallowed thickly, a strange pain taking up residence in my chest as Alessandra closed her prayer. It was one thing to hear one of their genhanced zealots screaming litanies of hatred at me on the backswing of a powered blade, but another thing entirely to hear a prayer for protection and absolution spoken for my soul.
“I do not need absolution,” I hissed softly, “there is no light beyond the veil, only the hungering dark.”
The cycle ticked by noiselessly, save for the occasional distant detonations of the Orks finding something new to blow up. I should have been doing something productive, something useful or at the very least something that steered me closer to my goal. I had come to this world to die and for reasons I couldn’t quite place I was becoming less and less focused on that.
Alessandra was distracting me, this was obvious, but why?
Why was she distracting me so thoroughly? Why was it that every time I neared the door to leave her behind, I felt an ache in the pit of my stomach?
